I will not cry from what you made me do.
I can live far past the potential you see in me.
I know I look weak and that maybe true,
But I will not cry because of you.
You used to help me up when I fell down
And wiped my tears off  before they hit the ground.
I can’t be perfect, though I try so hard to be
I want to laugh, in spite of what you’ve done to me
You keep reliving untruths that once were said
None of your thoughts leave, they just spin around in your head.
I tried so hard to be good for you.
I wasn’t perfect, but neither were you.
You hurt my hopes and crushed my dreams.
My future is without sight now, I have no means.
My spirit must find some other way
To make amends and take away
I have a dream without you now
My soul will soar upon the clouds
My life isn’t easy and you used to
Make each day easier to live through
But in your absence you must know
I have so much now,  I continue to grow
You held me back and I couldn’t see
How great this life would want me
